Easy Lemon Pudding Recipe

A lemon pudding is probably one of the easiest desserts you can make. The key is a thick cream, reduced slightly, and combined with tart lemon juice. Use fancy glasses for a memorable presentation.

Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
Chilling time: 2 hours
Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients:

• 2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 2/3 cup granulated sugar
• Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
• 6 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 cup blueberries, raspberries, sliced strawberries or blackberries, to garnish

Directions:

1. Warm the cream and sugar: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, stir together the cream, sugar and lemon zest. Bring to a boil. Adjust the heat to a gentle boil, and cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes.
   Watch carefully and stir frequently to keep the cream from boiling over.
2. Add the lemon juice and continue to simmer for 5 more minutes. Stir frequently.
3. Take the pan off the heat and let the cream cool for 5 minutes.
4. Strain and chill. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a 4-cup liquid measuring cup or other container for easy pouring.
   Pour into 4 four-ounce ramekins or pretty stemmed glasses.
5. Refrigerate, uncovered, for 2 to 3 hours, or until set. This pudding can also be prepared and refrigerated up to 2 days in advance. Top each glass with berries just before serving.
